Only the half car retains its old design, particularly the nose. Images published on the web show Ohrberg's initial designs applied onto the cars before being changed to the final look. Ohrberg was told to not make their car look much like the Banshee. They refused to give out the design blueprints and molds to Universal and Jay Ohrberg, the builder of the cars. NBC-Universal would have used the actual Banshee concept for the Knight 4000, but Pontiac declined as they did not want another Knight Rider related problem, like in the 80s where people would come to local Pontiac dealers and ask for a KITT. ![]() Thermal Sensor This system allows to the Knight 4000 watch and record what is happening in a particular place. Voice Sampler Similar to the Knight 2000's Anharmonic Synthesizer, this device could simulate any voice which has been recorded into the Knight 4000's memory. Aroma Monitor This system is similar to the Knight 2000's Olfactory Scan, but is much more complex. Infrared Scanner The Infrared Scanner was a device with which the Knight 4000 could scan on an Infrared level, which would identify laser scope rifles as well as hidden objects giving off heat. Fax Machine The Knight 4000 could print out faxed messages from a dash mounted printer. Voice Activated Controls The Knight 4000's dashboard is less "cluttered looking" than KITT's original dash with most of the controls now being completely voice activated rather than having to push a button. Microwave Stunner Similar to the “non-lethal” sidearms used by the police, the Knight 4000 was equipped with a microwave stunner that could incapacitate criminals. The system was actually a major improvement over KITT's original hydroplane ability which during the original series was prone to malfunctions during its experimental phase. Amphibious Mode The Knight 4000 can float and maneuver on water much like a boat. Remote Target Assist This allows the pilot aim and fire with a complete and perfect accuracy. Thermal Expander The Knight 4000 was equipped with an offensive weapon which consisted of a microwave projector that caused the temperatures of targeted objects to quickly rise and either ignite or explode. Gadgets Virtual Reality Heads-up Display Rather than dash-mounted CRT displays, the Knight 4000 uses a virtual reality heads-up display (VR-HUD) that makes use of the entire windshield as video monitor. The vehicle had numerous 21st Century technological improvements over the previous 1980s version of KITT.ĭue to Maddock's approach to cut costs, KITT noted some of the features installed just do not work. ![]() KITT's original microprocessor unit was transferred into the body of the vehicle intended to be his successor, the "Knight 4000". 4.1 Shows and films the cars appear in:.
